What impressed you positively?

Beautiful campus and facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

Robot-like interviewers. Neither were MD/DO. Both held PhD's.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How insanely hot it was going to be that day (early September) and how much walking we were going to do outside. They send you off to find your interviewers by yourself. They can be located ANYWHERE on campus. Luckily, mine were located really close to each other, but others literally had to walk from one side of campus and then back to the other. They were probably drenched with sweat by the second interview. Also, some had to call the interviewer to open the door since buildings required access. Some interviews were held at a building that required security checkpoints. Ridiculous.

What are your general comments?

Make interviews in one building to avoid the sweatfest my interview group went through. I'm sure other days were the same.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
